Description
Discover 'Violent Order', a groundbreaking book that delves into the radical theory of policing, published by Haymarket Books in 2022. This seminal work explores how the police enforce a specific class order, intricately tied to racial and patriarchal structures. It illustrates that policing is not merely about maintaining social order; it embodies a broader project aimed at controlling labor and nature. The authors argue that police presence serves to enforce a capitalist agenda, transforming the environment into resources for accumulation. Through a critical examination of police violence and environmental racism, 'Violent Order' challenges us to reevaluate our understanding of law enforcement's role in society today. This essential read for activists, scholars, and anyone interested in social justice provides an in-depth look at the intersection of policing, race, and environmental issues.
